About this episode

The episode features a live dinner review from Kona Cafe and first impressions of Level99 at Disney Springs.

We're coming to you live from Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort as we review dinner in real time, sharing our honest thoughts on every bite—from bao buns and sushi to the teriyaki burger, crab and shrimp mac & cheese, and the famous pineapple-coconut bread pudding. Before dinner, we spent the afternoon putting the brand-new Level99 at Disney Springs to the test, tackling over two hours of physical and mental challenge rooms, competitive duels, and interactive games. We break down how it works, what it costs, whether it's worth the price, our favorite challenges, and who we think will enjoy it most. Along the way, we chat about Disney date nights, future plans for Carousel of Progress, our upcoming park adventures, and what makes both of these new experiences stand out. As always, you'll get our honest opinions and practical tips to help you decide if Kona Cafe and Level99 deserve a spot on your next Walt Disney World vacation. Whether you're looking for your next great Disney meal, a fun break from the parks, or simply enjoy joining us for an unscripted conversation from inside the magic, this episode is packed with food, fun, and plenty of Disney discussion.
